Why not newfs a floppy, cp the /sbin/sysctl to the floppy (it is
already staticly linked), mount the floppy during install... I think
you get the picture. Would this not work? It might stick with a
floppy install, I don't recall when install umounts the install
floppy so the device is free. For a cdrom installation, I don't
see a problem, though.
As far as that goes, hard drives on the target machine might
be available during installation, too. These can be usually
mounted/umounted at will. Even if these hds are to be partitioned
and newfsed later, you can run progs from them during the early
phases of installation.
BSD installation is very flexible.
